How fast (really) is a remapped ED30?

[Jkctr]

Im after a real world comparison on a remapped edition 30. No one does 0-60 blasts as most roads are 30 that move up into 40mph roads or NSL roads so its more of a 30-70 description i would like. I appreciate they are fast (vtec abuser is a on a ctr forum i use and his is bloody quick from his 1/4 mile evidence lol) but its hard to know as the only thread to see is the 'what have you beat in your gti' one which is a bit rubbish as there are so many variables, you could beat a veyron if the owner had no petrol so didnt try!

I have had a good look on here and have been lurking for ages (i have a sticky in the car care section) and im now quite keen on an edition 30 as my ctr is becoming expensive to mod for little returns, and revving it to 8600 is great fun, but not when im not in the mood and just want an easy overtake! From reading the MK4 forum they sound like they are talking out there arse tbh, im much faster than remapped 1.8t's, but im also modded! So therein lies my problem, i would like comparisons from people who actually owned other fast cars and not just beat them on the road as you never know the condition of the other car as all other cars are different!

Cheers guys

I had a 240 bhp cooper s and compared to a stock ed30 the mini would wipe the floor with it. But now i have mapped my edition 30 it really has transformed the performance and now the golf would wipe the floor with the mini. Sorry its not the most detailed descrition but a remapped ed30 is very very quick. Pulls really well from any revs and will keep up with alot of cars you wouldnt expect

No thats what i was hoping for, im quicker than a standard gti but have not had a go against a standard edition 30 so not sure! Ive got 221bhp and it weighs around 1250kg so its pretty nippy from a roll with 180bhp/ton (edition 30 has around 170bhp/ton so wouldnt be much in it!)

i used to own a ctr, and i now have a remapped GTI, and its stupidly quicker than the ctr 

best way to tell is to get a ride in one, if your serious about getting one then perhaps you could get somebody to give you a preview of their ed30, if you lived near me id take you for a blast in my gti

the edition 30 after a map is a different beast IMO, just feels so much quicker than standard, I was initially dissapointed with how slow the standard car was but wasn't too bothered as i knew I would remap , I have supriaed quite a few hot hatches in it since the remap

a ctr owner near me can confirm that the remapped edition 30 is faster than his ctr LOL

I've spent alot of time behind the wheel of various S2000's and I can honestly say it would not live with my ED30. Yes it's more fun as it's RWD for out and out pace it would struggle! A good friend of mine who runs a MK2 GTI and an S2000 came to inters with me and was blown away!  

Do you need any more convincing??

Yeah my mums standard gti feels alot slower than mine (from a little test i can confirm it also is a fair bit slower) but my aim isnt to get a standard edition 30 as i would keep enough money to instantly remap and have a whole new beast which will piss all over modified ctr's! Ive looked at a supercharger for 300bhp but i want some refinement and comfort with it and the ability to have an on/off car where the ctr is always on, you need to be in the mood to drive it!

Unfortunately living on the isle of wight means i am a bit out the way to experience one and i highly doubt a mapped ed30 is even on the island lol  

My main hope is to have an overtaking weapon, mine is annoying as i have to take it to the redline and it looks like im trying to hard (and sounds it) which it shouldn't!

How was yours faster 182_blue (im not saying it wasnt i just mean 30-60, 0-100? etc) i would imagine the reply is going be 'all of those'
